How To Cure Itching In Eyelids?
My eyelids are red and swollen and itchy. The doctor told me I had cellulitis and gave me Silvadene cream. I used it for a week and my lids peeled and cleared up but now two weeks later they re inflamed again. I started the Silvadene again yesterday and it s not helping. Thoughts?

Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.
I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are having cellulitis of the eyelids.
This is probably preseptal cellulitis. This needs to be treated by the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. Use of warm compression and analgesic drugs provide symptomatic relief.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Hope this is helpful to you.
Thank you
